Post a poster you used to have in your room, apartment or house. Got these as a teenager living in England. After I split from my ex I had them restored and framed and they've been key elements in my home decor ever since. They're currently behind my sofa with Palug the Cat Goddess (also purple).

Boann the cow goddess by Jim Fitzpatrick. A stately woman in a dress and veil holding a mirror with knotwork on the sides in blues, greens, and purples. A mix of Celtic knotwork and Art Nouveau in style.

Sionna the fox goddess by Jim FitzPatrick. An elegant woman holding a bouquet of roses with knotwork on the sides in oranges and purples. A mix of Celtic knotwork and Art Nouveau in style.

“Forget sharing the last picture you saved, I want to see the very first picture on your phone. Scroll back until your fingers bleed.” Obviously a scan but this photo is as old as I am!

Of course this is my favorite.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater as a kid. (I was tiny when it originally came out but I remember seeing it multiple times. They used to re-release Disney movies in the theaters.)
